The UN Capital Development Fund makes public and private finance work for the poor in the worldβs 46 least developed countries (LDCs).
UNCDF offers βlast mileβ finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development.
UNCDFβs financing models work through three channels: (1) inclusive digital economies, which connects individuals, households, and small businesses with financial eco-systems that catalyze participation in the local economy, and provide tools to climb out of poverty and manage financial lives; (2) local development finance, which capacitates localities through fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance to drive local economic expansion and sustainable development; and (3) investment finance, which provides catalytic financial structuring, de-risking, and capital deployment to drive SDG impact and domestic resource mobilization.

Report fraud, abuse and misconduct

In this time of crisis, local governments, nonprofits, and social enterprises in developing countries are facing new and unforeseen challenges. Given the need for βemergencyβ capital, UNCDF can leverage the following technical expertise and investment instruments to reduce and limit the economic and social hardship communities are experiencing.
Since 2018, UNCDF and the OECD have collaborated on research and knowledge on blended finance in the LDCs, with the aim to contribute to the policy debate on blended finance by developing empirical evidence and original research on how blended finance can be best used in LDCs to mitigate risk and attract investment for the SDGs.
Capital Musings. A UNCDF Podcast Show.
Capital Musings is a podcast series featuring in-depth conversations with economic development experts, thought-leaders and private sector leaders discussing critical issues at the intersection of development finance, impact investment and the SDGs.
By strengthening how finance works for poor people at the household, small enterprise, and local infrastructure levels, UNCDF contributes to SDG 1 on eradicating poverty and SDG 17 on the means of implementation.
By identifying those market segments where innovative financing models can have transformational impact in helping to reach the last mile and address exclusion and inequalities of access, UNCDF contributes to a number of different SDGs.
